@….peter:), Thanks for your comments on Sunshine and on the flower. I'm sure someday Sunshine will have her own Facebook profile, or whatever is popular in 15 years, but for now I try to minimize her exposure.

Sometimes we are "sent" somewhere to take a photo, but it doesn't really happen until all intended elements are assigned and in place as ordered. The bee arrived at precisely the right time, and you worked your photographic magic. It's just so nice to be in the right place at the right time. Thanks for sharing this one! It's lovely.

@Andrew Graeme Gould, Thanks! It was one of those lucky, one-time-only shots that just happened to work out. I didn't even know if it worked or not until I got home a couple of weeks later and uploaded everything because it was too small to see on my DSLR screen.
